This is so helpful! I already watched this video like 4 times. I'm planning to buy a PRS SE Swamp Ash Special, is that good, or would you recommend any other guitar under 1000$/€? And for the amp, i wanna get the line 6 catalyst, but I'm still deciding if I want that or the boss katana
That's awesome, really glad I could help! That looks like a great guitar to me 😊 I'd always recommend checking out your local guitar store and playing as many different ones as you can to see what feels best for you. Same for the amps, but I have heard really good things about the Boss Katana!
I just ordered a PRS SE 24-08 and a Marshall DSL40CR, and now I’m searching for the other things I’ll need to get started.
That sounds like a great set up, I'd love a PRS one day! Enjoy your new gear! 😊
@@ConorRocksYT thanks brotherman. Thanks for posting videos to helps newcomers to the art. I can't wait to play until my fingers bleed lol. I was a drummer, so I have a little musical talent to help, and the discipline to practice enough to "get good". Keep doing what you do brother. I'm sure I'm not the only one that appreciates it.
So I’m aware that fender styles and Gibson are different like in the length of a guitar. I’m 5ft and I have small hands and I heard a Gibson style would be better. Will that affect the range of playability since the neck is shorter? I mainly want to play metal and post hardcore music. I just don’t know where to start looking.
So that's called the "scale length" and it doesn't affect the range of playable notes - you can play everything you could on any other guitar!
But, you'll also want to be aware of the neck profile (which is affects how thick the neck is in your hand) and fretboard radius (how flat or curved the fretboard is).
For neck profile, a D shape would probably work better for you (it's flatter than a C shape meaning it's less bulky). Likewise a higher fretboard radius, like anything over 12 inch, would be easier as it's flatter.
A design like a Gibson SG might be a good choice, or guitars designed to be smaller guitars like Jackson's Dinky series - especially for metal.
Your best bet is to try something out at your local guitar store and see which scale length, neck shape, and fretboard radius feels best for you!
@@ConorRocksYT Thank you this was very helpful!!!!
I still think it makes no sense to call the High-E the first string. Standing up straight its the string on the right and when the guitar is in position it is the bottom one. Either way it makes more sense to call it the last one since we read left to right and top to bottom
Edit: and in terms of sheet music the low E is called E2 and the high E is called E4. And 2 comes before 4... so...
You and me both! But, that's what people called it 🤷♂️
@@ConorRocksYT + when you talk about the strings you say EADGBE not EBGDAE. The only logic I've found is because they put them in order from thinnest to thickest.
Can't believe that happened to your friend's headstock! Damn! Helpful video, thank you.
It was unfortunate! His guitar (an Ovation acoustic with a bowl back) was leaned against a chair, it slid off and completely snapped off.
@@ConorRocksYTthat would have made a good CZcams video 😮😢
Question…. I’m now starting out and have access to a bass amp, can I use that for an electric guitar?
You can! The EQ settings will work slightly differently as it's designed to handle more low end, and it might not have a gain setting (so you'll miss out on distortion unless you use a pedal).
But, perfectly fine to use!
@@ConorRocksYT ok, thank you
What amp do you use and how much was it
That's a Vox AD15VT - it was around £100. It's a decent practice amp, but it's an old amp and there are newer models out there!
@@ConorRocksYT thank you
Where you get the amp ?
It's an old amp (Vox AD15VT), I've had it for like 15 years! You can find them second hand - or look up the latest model, which I think is the Vox VT series!
Honestly by the time you break a string, all your strings could use a replacement. Also it would be weird to hear 1 string still bright and crisp while all your other strings are dull.
Thetes no such thing as the best guitarist , just be best at your own technique
